Ummm...no, and I don't know.

I was thinking "out loud" I guess. Just a bit frustrating, that's all. I never expect iPhones to be buggy like Android devices, I expect them to be good to go right out of the box.

Re: Verizon iPhone 7 Users...Reception issues?

I am on T-Mobile but bought a Verizon phone, The guy at Apple said that Verizon phones can be used on all networks but T-Mobile units only on T-Mobile and ATT. I have accounts with T-Mobile and Verizon and my family is on Verizon so I figured that would be better for me in case someone smashed their phone and needed to take mine.

As far a reception for Verizon, I asked my wife and daughter and they thought that their 7+ was at least as good as their old 6s+ if not better. So no problems here in the Boston area

Re: Verizon iPhone 7 Users...Reception issues?

Well...I don't know whether my iPhone 7 felt guilty after being talked about so harshly, Verizon dropped a network patch of some kind, the OS just needed to "settle", or the planets all aligned...but my 7 has suddenly gotten its act together...completely. It sticks like glue to LTE, "remembers" WiFi signals, and I haven't had a single complaint about poor in-call sound quality...and I've not dropped a single call. Weird, to say the least!

This nirvana may end tomorrow, but for now...it's all good. Hope everyone else has the same experience.

Re: Verizon iPhone 7 Users...Reception issues?

For what it's worth, I sent Rene Richie a message weeks ago about this issue to try to gain notoriety in order to bring it to apple and Verizon's attention. Well never heard back from him. But now, apple, Verizon and other tech sites are finally reporting this as a huge issue. A lot of us did Telephony Logging for apple engineers on macrumors. There's a huge thread going on about this issue since day 1. It's affecting the 7 and 7+, mostly on Verizon but has affected other carriers across the globe. It also appears to be software related. The newest dev beta 2 with carrier Verizon 26.0 doesn't resolve it, but it reduces occurrences apparently.

Wow! 50-pages to that thread so far over there! Clearly this is a widespread issue & I hope my phone's sudden turnaround wasn't a fluke or isolated incident...I hope Apple and/or the carriers get their acts together, and quickly.

Re: Verizon iPhone 7 Users...Reception issues?

E.G. I can connect to wifi no problem. However when the phone has been sitting for awhile and I go to pick it up, it switched back to LTE. Unlock the phone and it connects right back to wifi. My 6s Plus never did this but my 7 does. Anyone? Bueller?

I'm also having a lot of reception issues...and I never, or hardly ever had any of that with my 6s. I have a lot of incoming callers telling me there's a lot of "noise on my end".

Are there any known Verizon issues here?

There is LTE issues with iPhone 7 and it has been reported, Apple and Verizon are working on a fix for this issue. It is a software issue but there is a compromise that can fix the LTE issue by turning voice over LTE off but the thing is you cannot use LTE over phone calls with stinks. To turn off voice over LTE go to Settings>Cellular>Cellular Data Options>Enable LTE and switch it to Data Only. I am a Verizon Customer having the same problems as you are, doing this fixes the cutout problems but you cannot have Voice Over LTE. If you need anymore help just respond to this comment
